GLAZE COURSE with Ludvig Hyrefelt FOUR SPOTS AVAILABLE
We are so happy to once again offer a glaze course with both theory and practice in collaboration with Ludvig Hyrefelt.
This is a course for you who want to learn the basics of what a glaze consists of and be able to change it to suit your needs. Lots of theory, led by Ludvig, is interspersed with practice, led by Karin and Nilla, so that you can feel confident starting to mix glazes from your own or existing recipes after completing the course.
Ludvig has been particularly interested in glazes during his years at Konstfack and, with his background in medicine, has a genuine theoretical foundation to stand on. Over the past two years, he has held several glaze courses around the country. Feel free to read more about Ludvig at ludvighyrefelt.se and on Instagram @luddolera

The course includes 5 kg of clay (the price for clay over 5 kg is an additional 115 SEK/kilogram). We have several different stoneware glazes to choose from.
